Good behaviour policy

Our Good Behaviour Policy and Procedures are aimed to support students and staff achieve our College aims. For a full copy of the College’s Good Behaviour Policy or to view our summary, please use the links below or ask reception to send you a copy:

The College’s Good Behaviour Policy and Procedures were created in consultation with students, staff and parents and takes into account Ofsted findings nationally on “Low level Disruption” and the most recent Department for Education guidance for headteachers and staff on behaviour and discipline in schools:

Values every student as an individual and is ambitious for every students regardless of their background, previous achievements, talents or individual barriers to learning

Is nurturing, caring and welcoming

Is reflective and always striving to improve

Develops student and adult leadership and participation at every level

Is a community that students, staff and parents are proud of

As a result of our policy all staff share the same expectations with students:

Have excellent attendance

Be on time

Be equipped to learn

Be polite and respectful to others

Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself

Be resilient —never give up

Be resourceful – find ways to help yourself

Be reflective —think!

These expectations are recognised and rewarded when students meet them, especially if they meet them consistently over time.

If students do not meet our expectations, there are a series of consequences and interventions staff will put in place to ensure that over time, all students learn and develop to meet our expectations.

If any parent/carer or student has any concern regarding our Good Behaviour Policy and Procedures and how it is being implemented, they should speak to the student’s tutor or pastoral team in the first instance (Senior House Tutor or Pastoral Officer). If parents are still not satisfied, they should contact a member of the senior leadership team.

In addition, students can also speak to their Student Council representative. Student Council meet every Thursday and will regularly discuss issues like behaviour policy and its implementation.
